Kelly Walker Named 2014 Bike MS Champion
Kelly 'Sugar Bee' Walker |
She is one of 12 Champions featured on the bandanna with a signature, photo and their MS story. All CO & WY riders will get a bandanna in their packet to wear during their ride. We are so proud of her and ability to inspire so many other people to help work to eradicate MS.
Read her entire story and be inspired. Here's an excerpt: "I can relate to the saying “Life is 90 percent attitude and 10 percent situation.” Sure, I face challenges living with MS, but my choice is either to be angry, bitter, and think of myself as ill, or to lead my life centered around wellness, love, laughter and hope to walk or even ride a bike again someday. I choose the wellness option! I want to help “Take the Sting Out of MS!”
